211 East 62nd. A Landmark Residence Touched by History. Situated in the exclusive Treadwell Farm Historic District in Lenox Hill, this exceptional 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom townhome offers a modern luxury lifestyle set against the grandeur and promise of ages gone by. Its storybook past includes being the former residence of Eleanor Roosevelt and playing host to foreign dignitaries, political functions, celebrity trunk shows, and non-profit events. Built in 1873 and recently renovated by Maria Masi, this 19-foot-wide townhome rises five stories with a gorgeous redbrick faade. An elevator serves every floor, and a trio of private outdoor spaces include a classical courtyard garden, a terrace, and a rooftop deck with a dog run and skyline views. On the FIRST floor, a resplendent verde marble foyer with a brass entry gate and chandelier flows into an inviting reception hall with a powder room and custom printed wall panels depicting a 17th century Italian landscape. Just beyond that is a regal living room with verde marble floors and fireplace, mahogany wood paneling, contemporary coffered ceilings, and original stained glass French doors leading out to the garden. A fully-equipped service kitchen with its own entrance completes the first floor. A curved mahogany staircase leads up a SECOND floor with a formal den and dining room and a huge eat-in kitchen. Crema marble floors and period details run throughout. The dining room has a carved marble fireplace and an attached terrace overlooking the garden. The kitchen is adorned with stained glass windows, brass hardware, bespoke cabinetry, a large eat-in island, and high-end appliances from Trauslen, Miele, Gaggenau, and La Cornue. A convenient powder room sits just off the staircase. The THIRD floor contains the first of two primary suites.
